You can have your cake and eat it too. This is a yummy loaded potato dish and the only "diet" food is the butter. At just over 200 calories it is a wonderful comfort food and goes excellent with my 4 ounce filet mignon with no bacon.Submitted by KITCORPS100

Once again we had something that needed to be used, potatoe,s and I just started creating. I am amazed at how delicious this can be and not at a nutritional price! I hope you enjoy!!Submitted by RUMBAMEL

This is a great soup and quite hearty to warm one's soul. It makes 18 servings and is even better the next day.

Since our family has to watch sodium for medical issues, we do not use chicken soup base or bouillon when called for and instead use homemade chicken stock. By doing so we can control the sodium as needed. This recipe's nutritional info is if you are using homemade stock/low sodium homemade stock.

You may also cut back on the fat by using a substitute for the butter and/or cheese if you wish. We opted for Smart Balance Buttery Lite Spread for this recipe and nutritional info.

Remember the cooking time is 5 Hours on High or 8 Hours on Low in your Slow Cooker.

Please see the bottom of instructions if you wish to use chicken base instead of stock.
